Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
S = at + \(\frac{1}{2} at^2\)
60 = 0 x 20 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x a x 20
a = \(\frac{3}{10}\)m/s2
F = ma = 800 x \(\frac{3}{10} = 240N\)
S = at + \(\frac{1}{2} at^2\)
60 = 0 x 20 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x a x 20
a = \(\frac{3}{10}\)m/s2
F = ma = 800 x \(\frac{3}{10} = 240N\)
